Just wondering ,we're trying to ramp up & get it installed now. Thought we'd be able to use an existing server that's pretty new, but it's looking less & less likely. Getting prices for a new box based on the Enfocus Recommended specs, my inclination is to go higher since I'd rather not re-visit upgrading a server in use.

Okay, from from workstation on up. Lots of choices that get insanely configurable quickly. Six or 8 cores if nothing else is because of the OS overhead. Sixteen GB of RAM or 24GB. Anything more "now" will be useless. Just make sure it's easy to add another physical cpu with an identical CPU in slot 0. That's the worst part to decide. Everything else is relatively easy until you reach windows license limitations. Start with Windows Server 201x.

Beefing up the existing server to start. Doubling the RAM to 64GB and another Windows Server License to install Switch into its own Virtual Machine. Freaking IT support is charging a ransom too, can't quite believe that OEM Dell memory is SO expensive it should be gold-plated but don't want to take a chance on the same spec modules from Crucial. If they don't play nice with the current install, I know what a mess mixed RAM can cause.

The install went relatively painlessly, the MIS implementation however...ugh. :shoots_self:

It's close, I'm hoping to get in there & start getting my hands dirty this week or early next. Pity is, we're moving a TON of jobs for one client who got bought recently is rebranding ALL kinds of collateral. It's perfect for a Switch scenario but I haven't learned anything yet.

abc: Don't take this the wrong way but...are there ANY tutorials that aren't Flash based?? I tried to go through the ones on the Enfocus site (https://www.enfocus.com/en/learn) and bailed after a few slides. Trying to get a leg up on some basics since the Install is taking longer than I hoped.
